So this comment inspired me to try to work up a usable all-in-one solution. Trac isn't bad for that but it's starting to show its age, IMO, and it's especially painful when you have essentially one organization but with multiple projects. Trac makes you handle everything separately in each project. What would be nice is to have one system, but with multiple sub-projects where permissions, settings and so on can be fine-tuned per project. Here's where Redmine comes in. To me, Redmine is everything Trac is, but better. Besides providing one-stop management for several projects, it also has some nice additional features. For example, users created on redmine can be eventually given commit privileges to a repository without requiring creation of a Unix system account. There are also some nice action keywords you can use in commit logs: 'Did some stuff. Fixes #5677' Will mark ticket 5677 as resolved (or whatever status you configure it to). I set up a redmine installation on quantum. It has all the latest info merged over from trac (well, from earlier today), and it has a new look based on the design I showed earlier. It automatically created users from the accounts/emails it found in the issues, and many of you likely received a notice about that. It's here for now: http://community.linuxfromscratch.org I personally think this would be a nice replacement for both trac and the main site. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
